[b]All female schools are great for lesbians, bi-sexual, and transgender students. Not so great for straight females (due to both lack of males as well as risk of sexual assault by other students. Do research before dismissing the concern about sexual assault by females upon females.)[/b]

What!? Oh yes, the epidemic of 'female upon female" sexual assault. If anyone needs to do research, it is YOU. So I guess these women's colleges are terribly unsafe places for women due to "female upon female" sexual assault!? Get a life.

"Sexual assault is defined as any unwanted sexual contact, including sexual grabbing, kissing, fondling, and rape (Criminal Code of Canada—Section 271—Sexual Assault, 2018). It is a gendered crime that is disproportionately perpetrated by males against females (National Sexual Violence Resource Centre, 2015) and predicated on power and control (Gravelin et al., 2019)."

For those in the back: sexual assault is a gendered crime that is [b]disproportionately perpetrated by males against females[/b][/quote][/quote]
There is research that shows as many as 1 in 4 college women will be sexually assaulted or harassed. So the ~15 women’s colleges are the problem, but not the 2500+ co-ed colleges where sexual violence is rampant and often unchecked for perpetrators. Got it….

The thinly veiled homophobia and transphobia with a small veneer of fetishization of lesbians/bisexual women is odd. The topic always comes up even without women’s colleges. But, there’s no fear of their precious straight boys experimenting. If your son is in a frat he’s at high risk of sexual violence, too. Don’t worry if your kid is LGBTQ+ or not. Just love them and be proud of them for going to college and doing what they want in safe and healthy manner. THAT’S what you’re there for. Take off the training wheels instead of breathing down their necks for goodness sake. You people disgust me for talking about young adults this way.[/quote]
